whats happened to the swan crabs

was out last night but the crabs wernt tried 3 different spts for a total of 3 crabs.

is anyone doing well in the swan?

are there any suggestions of where to try ? or was it just bad luck,bad time, bad barometric pressure,bad alignment of the stars,bad weather in england or heaven forbid bad fisheraman(nah cant be that ;-))

i tried canning bridge,barrascks,and matilda bay for no great success

ummm i'm pretty sure he was

ummm i'm pretty sure he was not correcting him, the person who was catching the crabs asked what depth your potting and person who is not catching crabs said the correct question is what dephts are you potting ie your catching them your depths or dephts are correct you tell me the spelling was an honest mistake.  A small overaction by someone not even in the conversation btw and then taking a swipe at a second person who was just trying to point out your possible misunderstanding.  Next time I would leave it to the person you may think was being offended to respond as they may actualy have a better grasp of wtf was going on.

 

All spelling mistakes in my post are unintended as my spelling sux.

No probs mate!

Tue, 2013-01-08 15:58

Max you need is 25m of rope (I use 5mm PP rope) and that will cover you for crabbing to 20m/deeper parts there!!

 

All the best
